Economic Dispatch with Multiple Fuel Options Using CCF

Economic Dispatch with Multiple Fuel Options Using CCF

This paper presents an efficient analytical approach using Composite Cost Function (CCF) for solving the Economic Dispatch problem with Multiple Fuel Options (EDMFO). The solution methodology comprises two stages. Firstly, the CCF of the plant is developed and the most economical fuel of each set can be easily identified for any load demand. In the next stage, for the selected fuels, CCF is eva...

Economic Dispatch with Multiple Fuel Options using Water Evaporation Optimization

This paper presents Water Evaporation Optimization (WEO) algorithm for solving Economic Dispatch (ED) problem with multiple fuel options. The objective of the problem is to identify the most economical fuel for each generating unit in order to minimize the total fuel cost while satisfying system constraints. The valve point loading effects should also be considered to obtain a realistic and mor...

Economic Load Dispatch of Generating Units with Multiple Fuel Options Using PSO

This paper presents a method to solve the optimal generation and dispatch of electrical power with multiple fuel options at different power levels. In general, the cost function for each generator is considered by a single quadratic function of power, for the optimal generation and dispatch problem. However, it is more realistic to represent the generation cost function for fossil fired plants ...

A Global Solution to Economic Dispatch with Multiple Fuel Units Using a Function Merger

This paper presents a new systematic approach to find a global solution to economic dispatch (ED) with multiple fuel units using a function merger (FM). Currently, no systematic approach has been developed to find a global solution to economic dispatch with multiple fuel units. Various heuristic methods have been proposed, however it is almost impossible to guarantee a global solution by those ...
